Transports

Ferries and Eurotunnel

Cheap4Ferries There are many options - depends on what port/price combination is best for you. For booking online we have found the best fares with Cheap4Ferries.com - they guarantee to be the cheapest and they cover Eurotunnel as well as the ferry companies.

Brittany Ferries The largest choice of routes, including some very fast ones by catamaran: Portsmouth-Caen 3hrs 45 minutes by catamaran, 5hrs 45mins by normal ferry, 7 hrs overnight; Portsmouth-Cherbourg 3hrs by catamaran; Portsmouth-St Malo 10hrs 45mins overnight; Poole-Cherbourg 2hr 15mins by catamaran, 6hrs 30mins by normal ferry, 6hrs 30mins overnight.

Eurotunnel The option if you want to bring your own car and don't like boats! Very frequent service and fast at about 40 minutes from boarding to driving off. But there can be a bit of a wait to board, which reduces the relative gap between this and the catamarans. Bear in mind that the shortest crossings tend to leave you the longest drive on the French side, but are probably quicker overall (assuming you drive faster than a ferry) if you don't get lost along the route.

SpeedFerries Very fast, low prices: Prices from 50.00 euros to 90.00 euros each way for a car and 5 passengers, depending how far in advance you book and how many spaces are left. Dover-Boulogne in 50 minutes by Catamaran.

Flights

Ryanair London Stansted to Tours or Deauville, Deauville is the best option only 45 minutes away. Shannon, Dublin, East Midlands and London Stansted to Nantes (240km, 2hrs 15). East Midlands and London Stansted to Dinard (190km, 2hrs 40). Shannon, Dublin and Glasgow Prestwick to Paris Beauvais (240km, 3hrs).

Rail travel

The French train companies are TGV, Corail and TER; timetables can be checked and tickets purchased online at discount prices from Rail Europe who offer discounts on normal rail company fares.

We are 5 minutes from the railway station at Bayeux, which is served by frequent trains from Paris and Caen.

Journey time: Paris st Lazare to Bayeux in just over 2 hours; Caen to Bayeux in 20 minutes

Eurostar runs a wonderful service from London Waterloo, to Calais, Paris, Brussels etc. From Paris to Bayeux is via the fast trains from Gare St Lazare.  They run several times a day in the summer, the journey lasting around 2 hours.  The SNCF website has timetables you can search.

By Car

Of course you can hire a car, your travel agent can help here, or you can use one of the companies at the large airports. The A roads are great driving roads, though the tolls can mount up.  From Calais to Caen for example is around 20 Euros. Driving in and around Paris can be very tricky for the novice.

We now offer a few driving tips. Speed limits, town centres - 50 kmh/31 mph, Main Roads - 90 kmh/55mph, Motor/Highway - 110 kmh/68 mph Super Motor/Highway - 130 kmh/80 mph. In rain or bad weather, these limits reduce by 10 km/h or to 110 km/h. Seat Belts - Front and rear seat belts must be worn at all time. Children under 10 years can only travel in special child seats. Drinking and driving - the limit here is VERY low, we recommend never drinking and driving. The Police here do have random checks all year round.
